What does the standard apply to?
The Decent Homes standard only applies to the actual property. It does not apply to the quality of the area around the home, like that from the front door to the street, or the environment of the neighbourhood.
A home can fail the Decent Homes standard because of a number of items. So, bringing a home up to the standard can vary from address to address depending on the work carried out in the past and the effects of wear and tear.
